Share All sharing options for: Green Bay Packers 27 - Denver Broncos 24 - Post Game Quotables
DENVER BRONCOS COACH MIKE SHANAHAN
"Defensively, I believe we did a good job stopping the run. We improved from a year ago. We didn't tackle as well as I would have liked us to. We had some penalties, but I thought the effort was there. We have to tackle much better than we did. Special teams overall had a good game. Right now, I'm not really sure about the injuries. Manuel broke his thumb, I know that. Elvis Dumervil dislocated his finger. Right now with Patrick Ramsey I'm not really sure. I'm not really sure on how his shoulder or elbow is right now."
On S Marquand Manuel Possibly Playing With a Broken Thumb --
"We'll have to see if he needs to have surgery."
On Playing His First Unit in the Second Half --
"No, like I said during the press conference, we just want them to play a half. We had a lot of plays playing against Dallas. I felt pretty good about our football team. We're trying to prevent injuries, obviously. Marquand got hurt in the special teams which was a setback."
On Giving WR Brandon Marshall Playing Time, Despite His Regular Season Suspension --
"I'm just going to treat it like he sprained his ankle. Obviously when we have people go down, we need to have people step up and take the opportunity. WR Darrell Jackson did not play today because of a sprained ankle, hopefully he'll be in full speed and ready to go. We want to get some of those other players some playing time."
On the Possibility of WR Brandon Marshall Playing Against the Arizona Cardinals --
"I'm not going to go into playing time, but from looking at the past history, it's going to be pretty obvious what we're going to do."
On C Tom Nalen's Recent Knee Surgery --
"He had a pretty good surgery. They had to get some bodies out of there. They said that the results were very positive. We just have to see how long it takes."
On DT Ebenezer Ekuban's Status --
"I really don't know. I haven't talked to Greek (Head Athletic Trainer Steve Antonopulos) yet. I think I'll find out in the next half hour or so."
On the Play of TE Nate Jackson --
"I'm very pleased with Nate, and [TE] Tony [Scheffler] has stepped up. [TE] Daniel Graham is obviously out today with a hamstring; he'll be full speed and ready to go next week. Like I said we had little bumps and bruises, I'll find out the status of them in the next hour."
On RB Michael Pittman's Play Tonight --
"Michael played a lot in the second half and did a good job. He got tired and we had to put [RB] Andre [Hall] back in. Hopefully we'll stay healthy at that position. I thought [FB] Peyton Hillis did a good job making a big play to give us that first down, when we were backed up. He made a nice run and nice catch. [FB] Cecil Sapp and Peyton alternated during the first half. Overall I'm very pleased. I'm very pleased with the offense thus far."
On P Brett Kern's Taking Lead in Punting Position --
"Very close, very close."
QUARTERBACK JAY CUTLER
"We started a little slow, we still moved the ball and I thought that the line did a great job with the running game. They kept us in it. We were struggling to complete some balls. I was able to get that big one to [WR] Brandon [Marshall] on the first drive, to set the field goal. We still struggled in the second series. We weren't able to make big plays. Our running game kept us in there."
On WR Brandon Marshall's Juggling TD Catch --
"He's good, you know. He's a big time receiver. Obviously I just threw it up in the air and gave him a chance."
On Reading Coverage's with WR Brandon Marshall --
"We had some things going and he understands coverages, kind of like I do and we had a good read from each other whenever he's one on one. We were able to take some shots and press the cornerbacks up and start jamming them and throw the ball over the top. That's what we're going to get, we're going to get some deep balls and some deep comebacks, that way he'll be hard to stop."
On the Play of Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers --
"I talked to Aaron, and I know him pretty well. I'm happy for him. He's in a tough spot over there. He had a pretty good outing. So I'm happy for him. He looked sharp and their offense looked pretty good."
On Missing WR Brandon Marshall the First Two Games of the Season --
"Of course we're going to miss the guy. He makes big play after big play. We can't do anything about it. We have to do what we can do."
TE NATE JACKSON
On Looking Like a Wide Receiver --
"I'm comfortable with getting back to my wide receiver roots. Hopefully the coaches will want to get the tight ends involved that way this season."
On His Seven-Yard Touchdown Reception --
"It was a concept we have been working on a lot against zone defenses. Wherever they [opponents] choose, they choose wrong, and somebody is open. I just remember turning around and reaching for it and it ended up being a touchdown."
On Auditioning to Make the Team --
"Opportunities don't come along all the time. During the games you don't know what will come up and which opportunities you'll get to make catches and blocks. When opportunities do come along, you have to take advantage of them and show what you're made of."
FB PEYTON HILLIS
On Broncos' 99-yard Touchdown Drive in the Second Quarter --
"With the team we have and the team we think we can have, a 99-yard drive against any team is a big deal."
On the Offense --
"We know we have the players on this team to go a long way in this league."
"I just have to do what I can. This is a tough league and it's going to take my best to show that I can perform."
LB JAMIE WINBORN
On Starting in Place of LB Boss Bailey --
"The thing about a championship team is you have to have depth. When guys go down, other players have to step up and fill in."
On Green Bay --
"Those guys have a lot of talent. They have always had a good team and they came ready to play tonight."
On Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers --
"There's a reason they drafted that guy. He's a great player and I look forward to seeing him for a long time in this league."
WR BRANDON MARSHALL
On the Team's Performance --
"Hats off to our offense today, and the defense also played well. I think Coach [Rich] Tuten and Coach [Mike] Shanahan did a great job of keeping us all together in the offense. We all worked hard in the offseason and it's paying off so far."
On his Touchdown Catch
"We came out and I had a short route. The crowd helped out with noise, and we audibled to a deeper route and took advantage of them not having a safety over the top. The first deep ball I told [QB] Jay [Cutler] to throw it up to me, and I didn't catch it. We did it again and I caught the ball. I feel like I'm picking up where I left off last year."
QB PATRICK RAMSEY
On the Competition at Running Back Position --
"I am glad I'm not the one making the decision. They are all great backs and they are all doing a great job. [RB] Andre [Hall] and [RB] Selvin [Young] are both making plays and as you saw [RB Michael Pittman] scored. I am just glad that I don't have to make the decision."
On his Hand Injury --
"It's alright. I wanted to go back in for the last drive, but I could not grip the ball, so I let [QB] Darrell [Hackney] into the game to give it a try. I'll be fine."
K MATT PRATER
On Tonight's Game --
"It went pretty well. All but one of my kicks went for touchbacks. I put through [converted] my field goals and so far I am happy with what I've done. But, I want to work on it and get better each week. I think no matter what you do your best to keep your job each week no matter if you're a rookie or a veteran."
On the Mile High Atmosphere --
"The fans are great and the ball travels well with the altitude. So far I like being here a lot."

Brilliant tour - better than we expected !
Small number tour was fantastic. The guide was so knowledgeable and interesting. We travelled a different route than the big buses and it was much more interesting. Volcanoes are great!
I couldn't be more satisfied with this tour. The boat is a bit smaller than the big touristy ones, which gives it a more personal touch, with great speakers to hear the guide through as well as large windows at surface height, for a great view of the animals even for those who want to sit inside. It is also much faster than all the other vessels that left the harbor at the same time, so you get to spend almost twice the time actually at the feeding grounds looking for the whales, instead of just traveling there. The guide was the best, with a laidback approach and a lot of fun facts, while still very alert for breaching whales. We had the best possible weather conditions, which of course made the experience even better, with a whole lot of sightings, but I'm sure this tour would have given us the best possibilities even if the weather had been less perfect.
Great team really we enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend.
Daniel and the crew of the Andrea were great.

California sues Trump administration over repeal of fracking rule

Reporter covering energy and environmental policy
California did it again.
On Wednesday, the largest state in the country filed another lawsuit against the Trump administration, this one concerning the repeal of a rule regulating hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, on publicly owned lands under Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.
"The risks of fracking to our health and our environment are real," Xavier Becerra said at a news conference Wednesday, on the first anniversary of his becoming California's attorney general. Separately, a coalition of environmental and tribal groups sued to block the rollback of the fracking rule as well.
"President Trump and Interior Secretary Zinke didn't let the law or facts get in their way in their zeal to repeal," Becerra added.
The repeal of the 2015 rule, which was issued by the Bureau of Land Management under President Barack Obama, was a long time coming. After first indicating in a March 2017 court filing that it planned to repeal the rule, the Trump administration finalized the rollback Dec. 29.
Under the Obama-era rule, companies that drill on public or Native American lands were subject to stricter standards for oil and gas wells, and for ponds and tanks where toxic waste water that resulted from the fracking process is stored. With the rule, the Obama administration also sought to compel oil and gas firms to report what chemicals they use when they fracked — data environmental groups frequently try to pry from drillers, with little success.
Over the course of 2017, California has challenged the Trump administration in court at nearly every turn, suing federal agencies over immigration enforcement, the military transgender ban, student loan protections and fuel-efficiency standards. In total, Becerra has sued the Trump administration 26 times, fracking suit included.
Much of California's success in court has come in the environmental arena, according to data provided by his office. Of the 10 legal victories Becerra has secured to date, six of them concern environmental issues, including the rollback of rules meant to curb methane leaks from oil and gas wells and to make cars burn fuel more efficiently.
"He hasn't lost one case yet," Becerra spokeswoman Sarah Lovenheim wrote by email.
But the fracking rule affected California and other Western states in particular. The Bureau of Land Management oversees 600 oil- and gas-producing leases on federal or tribal lands in California, covering more than 200,000 acres.
In the suit, California argues that BLM lacks legal justification for repealing the rule. In 2015, the bureau said it needed to issue the rule to fulfill its mandate to protect Native American tribes. In repealing the regulation two years later, BLM did not explain how it would fulfill that responsibility without the rule, Becerra's office argued.
The state also is arguing that the Trump administration violates the National Environmental Policy Act, the nation's bedrock environmental statute, by failing to consider the environmental impacts of fracking, whether it causes groundwater contamination or earthquakes. Represented by Earthjustice, the environmentalists claim Interior broke several laws, including NEPA, with the repeal.
"This is another case of the Trump administration putting our public lands and water at risk to pad the bottom line of the oil and gas industry," Earthjustice attorney Michael Freeman said in a statement. "The agency has abdicated its responsibility under federal law to manage these lands."

Q: ForEach-Object's syntax in powershell I have a working Powershell statement like below,
$Uptime = $Uptime |  ForEach-Object {
    if($_ -eq "N/A"){return $_}else{'{0}:{1}:{2:D2}:{3:D2}' -f ($_.Duration()).Days,($_.Duration()).Hours,($_.Duration()).Minutes,($_.Duration()).Seconds}
}

Where $Uptime is an array of DateTime objects.
I like the one liner for my else statement, but I'd like to create a variable which contain $_.Duration() in my else statement instead of repeating it.
I tried,
$Uptime = $Uptime |  ForEach-Object {
    if($_ -eq "N/A"){return $_}else{ $d = $_.Duration() return '{0}:{1}:{2:D2}:{3:D2}' -f ($d).Days,($d).Hours,($d).Minutes,($d).Seconds}
}

Which obviously is not valid syntax (unexpected token 'return' in expression or statement).
Obviously my goal is to have the same behavior as above and return the formatted string '{0}:{1}:{2:D2}:{3:D2}', but I can't find the right syntax.

A: You can use a semi-colon to enter multiple commands on the same line:
$d = $_.Duration(); return (<expression>) }

You don't need return because anything returned by the expressions will be sent to the output stream, which is being assigned to your variable $Uptime.
$Uptime = $Uptime |
    ForEach-Object {
        if ($_ -eq "N/A") {
            $_
        } else {
            $d = $_.Duration()
            '{0}:{1}:{2:D2}:{3:D2}' -f $d.Days,$d.Hours,$d.Minutes,$d.Seconds
        }
    }

This is equivalent to what you wrote.

You can further shorten your formatting string (assuming $d is a DateTime object):
'{0:dd}:{0:HH}:{0:mm}:{0:ss}' -f $d

or even
$_.Duration() | Get-Date -UFormat %d:%H:%M:%S

Jamie Reid
Guided by Arthur Rimbaud's mottos "Change ton vie," and "Je est un autre," Jamie Reid began publishing poetry in TISH magazine at barely 20 years old, in 1961. This selection draws from those brilliantly impressionist early poems, through his contemporary writing expressive of an urban particularity within a sophisticated global discourse. Schooled in the modernist poets, whose dream it was that the world could be positively changed by deliberate human action, Reid has never abandoned the objective of abetting change in the world, in society, and in the individual human personality....

Back to the War
More than 30 years in the making, Frank Davey's careful archaeology of the catalogue of innocence his youthful imagination assembled growing up in and immediately after World War II is a work of astonishment.
This is no lyrical work of sentimental nostalgia, no attempt to return to a romanticized "simpler past," no rediscovery of "the child within," but rather a careful reconstruction of "the child without." The reader moves through these poems, neither sanitized nor updated by their passage through experience, as one would through a gallery installation of intensely personal epiphanies,...

Bill Bissett
A pioneer of sound, visual and performance poetry--eschewing the artificial hierarchies of meaning and the privileging of things ("proper" nouns) over actions imposed on language by capital letters; the metric limitations imposed on the possibilities of expression by punctuation; and the illusion of formal transparency imposed on the written word by standard (rather than phonetic) spelling--bissett composes his poems as scripts for pure performance.

The Rap Canterbury Tales
Baba Brinkman; Erik Brinkman
The ambition that inspired rapper and MC Baba Brinkman to transpose his performance piece "The Rap Canterbury Tales" to the printed page was his desire to resurrect Chaucer's brilliant stories from their vellum mausoleum into visible and audible contemporary forms that would once again delight and edify both live listening audiences and readers--a rebirth of what poetry should be in its essence, and once was. Since Chaucer has become an unassailable icon of print culture, and hip-hop is an unassailable icon of contemporary digital cool, he saw this radical new fusion of content and style as...

Ken Norris
If, as Robert Creeley said, "form is never more than an extension of content," what happens when we lose form? Does content retreat into its ruins, its absences? Can we never go home because it retreats from us as relentlessly and unfathomably as our future? Is the imagination of "our" future as illusory and unreliable as the memory of "our" past? If, for the young man, "going home is the first defeat," the first violation of a burgeoning autonomy, is the very imagination of "home" an abrogation, a transgression? These are the questions that the deceptively simple lyrics of this book ask,...

The Shovel
Colin Browne
Everything Colin Browne has made up or invented in The Shovel seems written in prose; everything in it he has "unearthed"--from research, the stories of others and source texts--appears as poetry. In this extraordinary book, he has inverted the way we have been defining and privileging forms of language in English for the last century; self-expression becomes prosaic, the recording of history, poetic.
While The Shovel contains a range of styles and voices--everything from concrete poetry to "recollections of things past in tranquility" to delightfully humorous accounts of...

Last Scattering Surfaces
Gil McElroy
In the Standard Model of Big Bang Cosmology, about 300,000 years after its birth the temperature of the universe had dropped to the point where the first simple elements were formed, matter became cool enough for light to at last move freely, and the universe itself became transparent to radiation. This transition during the infancy of the universe is called the "surface of last scattering."
These poems map out such zones of last interaction. In the texts, the visual and semantic vectors of authorial intention run headlong into the messy and mundane material stuff of everyday life. In the...

Imagining Sisyphus Happy
Ian Sowton;Trafford Publishing
In ancient Greek mythology, Sisyphus was condemned by the gods to the meaningless activity of forever rolling a boulder to the top of a hill, then starting all over again after it had promptly rolled back downhill. Taking its cue from the famous essay on Sisyphus by the French existentialist writer Albert Camus, this book's paradoxical title and title-poem suggest the imperative of refusing to despair, of choosing one's own meaning and taking responsibility for it.
Although Imagining Sisyphus Happy includes poems of complaint, mourning, and contemptuous or exasperated satire, the book's...

The Asthmatic Glassblower: And Other Poems
Billeh Nickerson

Manslaughter at Old Hall Farm, Marchwiel 1865
On Monday 2nd October 1865, Joseph Jones was working on Old Hall Farm that belonged to Birch. Joseph Jones was approached by Edwin Hanmer. Edwin Hanmer was seeking work, and both men got into a conversation.
For reasons not covered in the reports, Joseph Jones struck Edwin Hanmer with a back handed slap, causing a fight between the two men. Joseph Jones fell onto the ground on his back. The ground was covered in rough gravel.
During the fight, Joseph Jones was mortally wounded. He lived for four days after the fight, from the Tuesday to the Friday, before finally succumbing to his injuries. During this time, he was treated by Mr T. Eyton Jones, a surgeon from Wrexham. After Jones died, Mr T. Eyton Jones performed a post mortem on him. He found that Joseph Jones had died as a result of a fractured skull.
On the 19th March 1866, Edwin Hanmer, who had been held in custody for a period of time before the trial, appeared before the Ruthin Assizes Court, charged with manslaughter.
The Judge surprisingly intervened in the case after just hearing the advocate explain how the fight had started. The Judge told the court that if Edwin Hanmer pleaded guilty, he would not pass any sentence on him. The Judge instead asked that the medical evidence was immediately presented to the court.
The Judge summed up the case to the Jury. He said that if two people fought, and one sustained such injuries as to cause his death, the other person who fought with him was guilty of manslaughter. He then told the Jury that the only thing that they could do was to find Edwin Hanmer guilty of manslaughter.
Obviously, strongly influenced by the Judges, summing up the Jury found Edwin Hanmer guilty of manslaughter, but they also recommended mercy for him.
Edwin Hanmer was about to address the court, when the Judge again intervened, prior to him being able to do so.
The Judge told Edwin Hanmer and the court that he was not going to pass any sentence on him. The Judge said to Hanmer that he was more sinned against than sinning, since Joseph Jones was more to blame for the fight as Joseph Jones had first struck him.
The Judge then openly criticised the Wrexham Coroner. The Judge stated that he would have refused bail and kept Edwin Hanmer in custody. Instead, the Judge would have granted Hanmer bail with two securities of 5 shillings. He continued this reproach by stating that he would have simply just fined Hanmer 5 shillings and the court costs.
The Judge ended the case by sentencing Edwin Hanmer to one day imprisonment for the offence of manslaughter, which meant that Hanmer was immediately discharged from the court.

Toy Stories at Spencer Doll and Toy Museum
In a glittery gown or camo flak jacket, a doll is a doll is a doll. (Unless it's an action figure.)
by Jimmy Tomlin
No one visits the Spencer Doll and Toy Museum without hearing the story of Amy Morris.
Nor should they.
It was Amy's memory, after all, that inspired the creation of the two-and-a-half-year-old museum, and it was Amy's collection of some 300 dolls that became its cornerstone. Amy's dolls, which include dozens of fully accessorized Barbies, occupy several hallowed display cases in the museum. In a sense, the dolls serve as guardians of the past, ensuring those sweet, innocent childhoods of yesteryear won't be forgotten.
Amy lived a short life in her native Rowan County — she died in 1996 at age 21 — and she spent most of those years in a wheelchair. She was born with Werdnig-Hoffmann disease, a genetic disorder that caused her body's muscles to atrophy.
During those 21 years, though, the world was Amy's toy chest. She packed a lot of living into a short window of time, and one of her greatest passions was collecting dolls. Amy especially loved Barbies, and in particular her Bob Mackie Barbies, dressed glamorously by Mackie, the renowned costume designer for "The Carol Burnett Show" and Cher.
"Through her disability, I think Amy imagined herself as one of the dolls," explains Beth Morris Nance, Amy's older sister. "She had blonde hair and blue eyes like Barbie, and she was spunky. I think that's why Amy liked to collect the dolls — it was almost like a therapy for her."
When Amy died, Nance and her mother, Susan Morris, found themselves at a loss. "Of course, I was left with a hole in my heart," Nance says, "but I was also left with 300 dolls I had no idea what to do with."
The two women joined a local doll collectors' organization — the Rowan Doll Society of North Carolina — to learn more about the dolls, their value, how to preserve them, and what they might be able to do with them. That ultimately led to the museum's opening in 2012, and the attraction has thrived. Nance says her sister would be humbled, but thrilled, to see what her doll collection has become.
"And every time somebody comes in the museum, we tell them Amy's story," points out museum administrator Kathy Gregg. "It keeps her memory alive, which is very important to us."
You see? It's a sweet, inspiring story that deserves to be told again and again. And yet …
And yet, as I stand before this army of Barbies, I find that my 51-year-old "every-guy" psyche can't relate. I never played with Barbies — in fact, I'm sure I shunned Barbies, and all other dolls, as if they had cooties. I didn't even have a sister who might've played with Barbies, which would have given Amy's dolls at least a modicum of relevance for me. What, I'm wondering, does this place have for me?
And then I see him.
For every adult, there's at least one toy that will always have the power to transport you back to your childhood, conjuring up memories of those days when playtime seemed endless. For Amy Morris, it was her dolls, which became her constant friends and helped her forget she had a disability.
For me? Well, for me, it's G.I. Joe — and I've just spotted him at the Spencer Doll and Toy Museum.
You have to understand. When G.I. Joe was introduced in 1964 as "America's moveable fighting man," he captured the imagination of a generation of young boys who fancied themselves war heroes. Granted, we didn't really understand anything about war. We didn't care whether playing war was politically correct or not, nor did we care whether it was predisposing us to a lifetime of violence. All we knew and cared about was that G.I. Joe was the man.

Never mind that we were essentially playing with dolls — complete with accessories like hats, guns, ammo belts, and canteens — just like all the little girls who were accessorizing their Barbies, which had been introduced a few years earlier. To us, G.I. Joes weren't dolls — they were "action figures" — and one glance at the museum's G.I. Joe exhibit resurrects my childhood. Suddenly, I'm 6 years old again, immersed in the action of a pretend war being fought on my bedroom floor decades ago.
Whatever your signature toy was — a Roy Rogers cap pistol, a Chatty Cathy doll, a Lionel train set — there's a good chance you'll find it, or something close to it, at the Spencer Doll and Toy Museum, because that's a large part of what this place is about.
"We're the memory-keepers, because we have things here that remind people of their childhood — and it's always a happy memory," Gregg says. "Maybe they're reminded of a toy they had or played with when they were a child, or reminded of some event that's brought up by toys. This is a place where we keep these items from the past, but we also have them here for future generations to appreciate."
And with every toy, Gregg says, there's a story that brings it to life. "I think that's part of the charm of this place," she says. "Yes, you can just go look around if you want, but we can tell you things about where these toys came from. People cared about these things, so they wrote their stories down. Or they gave them to us and told us their stories. Now, we tell the stories."
Consider, for example, the museum's extensive collection of Shirley Temple dolls and memorabilia, believed to be the East Coast's largest Shirley Temple collection available for public viewing. The dolls range from the 1930s to the present day and belonged at one time to Marietta Forlaw of Greensboro.
Here is Angela Peterson's large dollhouse, a replica of her childhood home in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Built in the 1970s, the replica of the 1912 home has three floors, including the attic. The removable roof allows you to see inside the dollhouse's second story. "According to the late Mrs. Peterson, the house is furnished as she remembered it was when she grew up there," Gregg says. "Even the wallpaper is as close to the original as possible."
There's the rare Schoenhut miniature Humpty-Dumpty Circus, too, which was considered a high-end toy when it was manufactured in the early 1900s. According to Gregg, it took Huntersville collectors Wayne and Helen Thomas — who loaned the circus to the museum — many years to amass all of the pieces for the miniature circus. For those seeking rare collectibles, this is the museum's biggest don't-miss exhibit.
Whatever your age, the Doll and Toy Museum in Spencer probably has the toy you cherished. Amy's sister, Beth Morris Nance, knows the stories behind the toys, including the saga of "the sad German rag doll," owned by a child of Nazi sympathizers. photograph by Elizabeth Glessner
One of Gregg's favorite toys is a doll she calls "the sad German rag doll," whose history can be traced to World War II Germany.
The story is that when Allied forces reached Germany near the end of the war, many Germans fled their homes with few possessions. Apparently, a German child left this 14-inch-tall cloth doll on the floor of a school attended by children of Nazi sympathizers. A young soldier from Rowan County found the doll, brought it home to Salisbury, and gave it to a doll collector. Eventually, her collection — including the German rag doll — was donated to the museum.
"This doll doesn't look like a lot," Gregg says, "but when you know its story, all of a sudden he becomes very special. We have a lot of dolls here that are worth nothing monetarily, but who have a story. They have sentimental value."
Amy's Barbies. My beloved G.I. Joe. Even the sad German rag doll. Sentimental value is worth nothing, yet is simultaneously priceless. Here at the museum, their expressions, and accessories — and yes, the stories behind them — remind us that while childhood joy may fade, the toys that claim our memories live on.

"Featured in criminal law stories that are making legal news in the community we serve, being recognized for in-depth knowledge of legal issues, providing insight and commentary on cases before the courts of Palm Beach County. "
If you have been charged with manufacturing controlled substances in Florida you have been charged with a felony offense. Under Florida law, manufacturing drugs refers to the "production, preparation, propagation, compounding, cultivation, growing, conversion, or processing of a controlled substance, either directly or indirectly, by extraction from substances of natural origin, or independently by means of chemical synthesis, or by a combination of extraction and chemical synthesis, and includes any packaging of the substance or labeling or relabeling of its container."
Drug crimes in Florida provoke harsh penalties even when small amounts of controlled substances are in question. Oftentimes, prosecutors paint those accused as a threat to the community at large. Defendants face long prison sentences and thousands of dollars in fines if convicted. These charges are not charges you should face alone; a determined criminal defense attorney is of the utmost importance to combat opportunistic prosecutors.
Whether you were arrested in West Palm Beach for manufacturing controlled substances or believe that you may be part of an investigation for drug crimes, it is important that you seek professional legal counsel at this time. The Law Office of Gabriel & Gabriel has worked diligently to serve the criminally accused of Palm Beach County for more than 25 years.
Penalties for Drug Manufacturing
The penalties for felony crimes have the potential to do considerable harm to your present state and your future. You will be torn from your family, your way of life, and your freedom for many years if you are convicted. You can also be stripped of your earnings for which you've worked hard all your life as fines usually accompany lengthy prison sentences.
Unless you are a pharmacist or are authorized by the state in some way to create controlled substances, you will face felony charges if you are accused of drug manufacturing. The details of the charges and potential penalties depend on the type of drug involved, the quantity you are accused of manufacturing, and the location in which the offense took place.
While there is no minimum quantity for an alleged drug manufacturing offense, certain thresholds are prosecuted as more severe trafficking crimes. Regular drug manufacturing is a third degree felony that can result in up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.
Penalties can escalate to the next level if the alleged drug manufacturing offense occurs within certain parameters. A third-degree felony manufacturing charge can become a second degree manufacturing charge; and a second degree manufacturing charge can rise to a first degree felony for which you could face a 30 year prison sentence if the crime is committed within 1000 feet of:
– A child care facility
– A public or private elementary, middle, or high school/ secondary school
– A state, county, or municipal park
– A community center for the provision of recreational, social, or educational services
– A publicly-owned recreational facility
– A public or private institution of higher learning, such as a college or university
– A place of worship
– A convenience store, or place of business open between 11pm and 5am
– A public housing facility
– An assisted living facility

The R 1 MKII is a high quality vintage style ribbon microphone. It offers the unique and natural sound that has been available in classical microphones like the RCA 44 and 77 that are still used to make high quality recordings today, after almost 70 years.
The Figure-8 pattern of the R1 MKII gives you the ability to separate sound sources by placing the unwanted ones in the side zero pick-up directions. Placing the unwanted ones towards the sides of the R1 MKII will remove most of the direct sound from the sound source. The R1 MKII will still pick up that source from the reverberant eldin the recording room though.
Due to the small width of the ribbon, the horizontal pick-up pattern is very wide. It is much wider compared to a large capsule condenser microphone.

Activist Venkatesh Nayak had asked for a report on the massacre, alleging it violated the rights of the personnel.
The CRPF quoted clauses under the RTI Act, which exempt it from making disclosures in this case.
Was Sukma attack a violation of human rights?
In one of their deadliest ambush in years, about 300 Naxals opened fire on a platoon of CRPF in Chhattisgarh's Sukma on April 24.
Twenty-five personnel died and six were injured.
Afterwards, the Centre approved aggressive offensive against Naxals. It also issued a hit-list of the top leadership.
In the last seven years, about 200 security personnel have died in Maoist attacks in Chhattisgarh.
"There appears to be no violations of human rights, and facts of the case do not attract allegations of corruption. Moreover, your application doesn't make any reference to such allegations. Hence, (we) aren't liable to provide any information in this regard under RTI Act-2005."
It added the enquiry report contained classified security issues, and so couldn't be shared as it might affect CRPF's strategy.
However, Nayak called the response an "injustice" to CRPF's own personnel. "Clearly, the murderous attack in April by left-wing extremist groups amounts to violation of their human rights by non-state actors. By denying this reality, the CRPF may be doing injustice to its own personnel."

New AI tools in the works for ThoughtSpot analytics platform
Set against the backdrop of COVID-19, ThoughtSpot is trying to stick to a roadmap that includes new AI-infused features and eventually an initial public stock offering.
The ThoughtSpot analytics platform only has been available for six years, but since 2014 the vendor has quickly gained a reputation as an innovator in the field of business intelligence software.
ThoughtSpot, founded in 2012 and based in Sunnyvale, Calif., was an early adopter of augmented intelligence and machine learning capabilities, and even as other BI vendors have begun to infuse their products with AI and machine learning, the ThoughtSpot analytics platform has continued to push the pace of innovation.
With its rapid rise, ThoughtSpot attracted plenty of funding, and an initial public offering seemed like the next logical step.
Now, however, ThoughtSpot is facing the same uncertainty as most enterprises as COVID-19 threatens not only people's health around the world, but also organizations' ability to effectively go about their business.
In a recent interview, ThoughtSpot CEO Sudheesh Nair discussed all things ThoughtSpot, from the way the coronavirus is affecting the company to the status of an IPO.
In part one of a two-part Q&A, Nair talked about how COVID-19 has changed the firm's corporate culture in a short time. Here in part two, he discusses upcoming plans for the ThoughtSpot analytics platform and when the vendor might be ready to go public.
One of the main reasons the ThoughtSpot analytics platform has been able to garner respect in a short time is its innovation, particularly with respect to augmented intelligence and machine learning. Along those lines, what is a recent feature ThoughtSpot developed that stands out to you?
Sudheesh Nair
Sudheesh Nair: One of the main changes that is happening in the world of data right now is that the source of data is moving to the cloud. To deliver the AI-based, high-speed innovation on data, ThoughtSpot was really counting on running the data in a high-speed memory database, which is why ThoughtSpot was mostly focused on on-premises customers. One of the major changes that happened in the last year is that delivered what we call Embrace. With Embrace we are able to move to the cloud and leave the data in place. This is critical because as data is moving, the cost of running computations will get higher because computing is very expensive in the cloud.
With ThoughtSpot, what we have done is we are able to deliver this on platforms like Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery and Microsoft Synapse. So now with all four major cloud vendors fully supported, we have the capability to serve all of our customers and leave all of their data in place. This reduces the cost to operate ThoughtSpot -- the value we deliver -- and the return on investment will be higher. That's one major change.
Looking ahead, what are some additions to the ThoughtSpot analytics platform customers can expect?
Nair: If you ask people who know ThoughtSpot -- and I know there are a lot of people who don't know ThoughtSpot, and that's OK -- ... if you ask them what we do they will say, 'search and AI.' It's important that we continue to augment on that; however, one thing that we've found is that in the modern world we don't want search to be the first thing that you do. What if search became the second thing you do, and the first thing is that what you've been looking for comes to you even before you ask?
What if search became the second thing you do, and the first thing is that what you've been looking for comes to you even before you ask?
Sudheesh NairCEO, ThoughtSpot
Let's say you're responsible for sales in Boston, and you told the system you're interested in figuring out sales in Boston -- that's all you did. Now the system understands what it means to you, and then runs multiple models and comes back to you with questions you'll be interested in, and most importantly with insights it thinks you need to know -- it doesn't send a bunch of notifications that you never read. We want to make sure that the insights we're sending to you are so relevant and so appropriate that every single one adds value. If one of them doesn't add value, we want to know so the system can understand what it was that was not valuable and then adjust its algorithms internally. We believe that the right action and insight should be in front of you, and then search can be the second thing you do prompted by the insight we sent to you.
What tools will be part of the ThoughtSpot analytics platform to deliver these kinds of insights?
Nair: There are two features we are delivering around it. One is called Feed, which is inspired by our social media curating insights, and conversations and opinions around facts. Right now social media is all opinion, but imagine a fact-driven social media experience where someone says they had a bad a quarter and someone else says it was great and then data shows up so it doesn't become an opinion based on another opinion. It's important that it should be tethered to facts. The second one is Monitor, which is the primary feature where the thing you were looking for shows up even before you ask in the format that you like -- could be mobile, could be notifications, could be an image.
Those two features are critical innovations for our growth, and we are very focused on delivering them this year.
The last time we spoke we talked about the possibility of ThoughtSpot going public, and you were pretty open in saying that's something you foresee. It's about seven months later, where do plans for going public currently stand?
Nair: If you had asked me before COVID-19 I would have had a bit of a different answer, but the big picture hasn't changed. I still firmly believe that a company like ThoughtSpot will tremendously benefit from going public because our customers are massive customers, and those customers like to spend more with a public company and the trust that comes with it.
Having said that, I talked last time about building a team and predictability, and I feel seven months later that we have built the executive team that can be the best in class when it comes to public companies. But going public also requires being predictable, and we're getting in that right spot. I think that the next two quarters will be somewhat fluid, which will maybe set us back when it comes to building a plan to take the company public. But that is basically it. I think taken one by one, we have a good product market, we have good business momentum, we have a good team, and we just need to put together the history that is necessary so that the business is predictable and an investor can appreciate it. That's what we're focused on. There might be a short-term setback because of what the coronavirus might throw at us, but it's going to definitely be a couple of more quarters of work.
Does the decline in the stock market related to COVID-19 play into your plans at all?
Nair: It's absolutely an important event that's going on and no one knows how it will play out, but when I think about a company's future I never think about an IPO as a few quarters event. It's something we want to do, and a couple of quarters here or there is not going to make a major difference. Over the last couple of weeks, we haven't seen any softness in the demand for ThoughtSpot, but we know that a lot of our customers' pipelines are in danger from supply impacts from China, so we will wait and see. We need to be very close to our customers right now, helping them through the process, and in that process we will learn and make the necessary course corrections.

We make real ceramic miniature tiles, floors, walls for miniature enthusiasts in 1 inch scale (1:12).
Robert Off made this roombox showing the studio of the Dutsch painter Vermeer.
We contributed the floor tiles, which we made according to his wishes.
This box is my vision of what his Delft studio may have looked like in 1650. Not much is known about Vermeer and only 34 works attributed to him are known to exist today. It is also theorized by a number of scholars that he used a mechanical optical device known as a camera obscure, a device similar to a pin hole camera with a projector lens, to assist him in creating the correct perspective of the scene.
On the left you can see the complex floor layout. It is turned 25° to the right angle. Subsequently every border tiles was different from the other. Hence we had a lot of work making the border tiles, keeping them in the right order and remember the right colour of each tile thoughout the production processs. After the firing we glued the border tiles on the layoutpaper in order to have them save of the destinated place. Robert got all other tiles, glued them on the paper and did the finishing work.
We thank Robert so much for having had the chance to contribute our work to your historic roombox!
We are thankful of having Therasa describing her work!
I revamp miniature furniture by stripping down, sanding, painting, staining, and adding personal flair to each piece. the added flair to this Kitchen cupboard piece is the beautiful porcelain tile color # 16150 (blue with a touch of green) that I have individually placed as the countertop.
We are grateful to get description of how Theresa applied our miniature tiles. Thank you so much!
We love the styl and are impressed how real the bathroom looks!
1. You like us to make the layout and cut all tiles to size.
2. You make the layout, buy regular tiles and cut the tiles by yourself.
Then we count the tiles and made a detailed quotation including shipping.
Here are 3 price versions for all miniature tiles covering this floor.
c) inlay tiles and rim tile with golden surface: 415 US Dollar.
For that price you get the layout printed on paper in the size of your room, all tiles cut to size and a recommendation on how to lay the tiles.
2. If you like to make the layout for your floor by yourself, we will be happy to supply regular tiles which you cut to size.
Regular tiles for the floor would be approx. 285 US Dollar.
Whatever you prefere we would be pleased to serve you!
All tiles cut to size for a floor of this size will be 187 US Dollar + 30 US Dollar for the layout and +9 US Dollar for shipping.
For this price you get all tiles in the colour of your choice (except for gold, bronce and silver which require a further production step), the layout printed on paper and a recommendation on how to lay the tiles.
Top left: the floor will mainly consist of basic black and white tiles Special tiles are at the outer border only All miniature tiles for this floor will be 240 US Dollar.
Top right: the row of white tiles of the top left floor is replaced by quarter tiles with a white and with a golden surface. As more tiles are needed and the producition of the golden tiles need a furhter step the tiles for this floor will be 375 US Dollar.
Bottom left: layout is very siminar to the top left floor. In this case the border consists of 2 rows of half tiles. Tiles for thist project will be 267 US Dollar.
Bottom right: if you replace the inner back border of the left floor by tiles with a golden surface the price will be 297 US Dollar.
Shipping costs for the tiles cut to size and the floor plan are 9 US Dollar.
Different floor sizes will need a different amount of tiles. Prices will vary accordingly.
We have been offering a very broad range of tiles. One colour tiles have been part of the programm as well as hand painted tiles, relief tiles and wall murals.
In the future we will concentrate our programm on a large variety of one colour single tiles (examples see March) and custom made floors and walls.
Hence we browsed through our stock and sorted out designs which our customers rarely ask for. It was not easy to sort them out as put so much engery and love into making them.
The relief tiles shown above belong to the ones we will not make any more.
You will find the tiles as remnannts in our etsy shop. Pllease order them there!
All of these tiles are covered with a traditional very lively glaze. In the long run they get a few cracks on the surface which make them look very like the ancient full size tiles.
By the way: the yellow tiles a the very right are the ones applied at the bathroom shown at the January issue below.
Katy made contemporary kitchen with a cool and crisp look. Following this styl she had chosen one color tiles for the backspash in a bluegreen (no 26200). Instead of placing the tiles on top of each other Katy placed them like railway tiles. By doing so emphasized the horizontal lines of the backsplash giving the arrangement a certain tension. We like Katy´s well balanced modern kitchen very much!
In old times a lot of bathrooms are tiled only around the buthtub and the shower area. The owner of this miniature bathroom (thank you for your permission to show the pictures!) has chosen a traditonal highly glossy glaze in a warm yellow. The slight variation in tile color gives the tiled area a lively look and supports the cosy athmosphere of this bath.

Q: Sequential integration test with each transaction in a separate test method The only way I've been able to successfully get a series of sequential transactions to commit on time in my Spring integration test is by putting each logical transaction in a separate @Transactional @Test method and put those methods in the order I want them to execute, so my test class looks like this:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations={"file:src/test/resources/itest/integrationTestContext.xml"})
@TransactionConfiguration(transactionManager="myTxManager", defaultRollback=false)
@TestExecutionListeners({DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener.class, TransactionalTestExecutionListener.class})

public class ITAccessPoint {

    @Test
    @Transactional
    public void transaction1() {
        myDAO.persist(obj1);
    }

    @Test
    public void testStep1() {
        /* code that depends on obj1 being persisted & committed */
    }

    @Test
    @Transactional
    public void transaction2() {
        myDAO.persist(obj2);
    }

    @Test
    public void testStep2() {
        /* code that depends on obj2 being persisted & committed */
    }
    .
    .
    .
}

Is this an acceptable technique of writing an integration test that involves many sequential database transactions or is this a hacky way of doing it?


Serial entrepreneur James Caan unveiled his new-look property website, Look4AProperty.com.
The property company Look4AProperty.com has entrepreneur and Dragon, James Caan at the helm as Chairman after buying a 25% stake in the business. Anticipating a huge surge in online property enquiries this autumn as the housing market picks up, the new website has been developed to help the market cope with the increased demand. The website, which features UK and overseas properties for rent or sale, has now incorporated Google Streetview for homes in 25 cities across the UK. It has a new-look homepage which helps users find property more quickly, and the entire website now operates faster.
Look4AProperty.com allows potential buyers and tenants to search for the right home, using properties submitted by estate agents around the country. The site features over 100,000 UK sale and rental properties. The company is not tied to, owned or affiliated with any estate agency company, or any other property company or media group.
James Caan has been working on a number of initiatives to put liquidity back into the housing market with his business partner Aaron Turner, CEO and founder of look4aproperty.com. They believe that the first shoots of the housing market recovery are visible but in jeopardy by a property shortage.

These consolidated cases involved challenges to a gender-based staffing policy of the San Francisco Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff reorganized inmate housing in mid-2006 in San Francisco so that all female inmates were placed in County Jail #8 in female-only housing units. From October 2006 forward, the Sheriff implemented a policy that only female deputies be assigned to staff these particular units.
The first of the consolidated cases, Ambat v. City and County of San Francisco, was filed in 2007. The second case, Walker, was filed in 2008. The third, Ortega, was filed in 2009. All involved sheriff's deputies who alleged that the Sheriff's staffing policy constituted employment discrimination in violation of Title VII and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. (Several of the plaintiffs also brought retaliation claims.) They were consolidated in 2009. After consolidation, on February 17, 2010, the Court granted summary judgment to the Sheriff on almost all of the plaintiffs' claims. 2010 WL 934006.
In her opinion, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston held that the policy was implemented to protect the interests that amount to the essences of the Sheriff's business and the Sheriff was entitled to deference in his policy judgment to implement department policy. Further, the policy was found to be reasonably necessary to ensure the normal operation of the jails and the alternatives to the policy were not feasible alternatives that furthered the overarching objectives of safety, security and privacy. The deputy was found to have exhausted administrative remedies for the retaliation claim and the denial of transfer requests by the deputy was not a form of retaliation. Finally, the fact that the deputy made certain statements was a legitimate, and non-retaliatory reason to terminate the deputy. These statements were made to the National Academy of Arbitrators and involved content that the sheriff was influenced by financial contributions and nepotism, and that the sheriff's general counsel had engaged in sex tourism.
Judge Illston also denied summary judgment on retaliation claims brought by three of the plaintiffs. These plaintiffs alleged that the defendant retaliated against them by reprimanding them for complaining that the policy constituted gender discrimination and for participating in this lawsuit.
The parties then agreed, three weeks before trial was scheduled to commence, to continue in order to enter into settlement negotiations on the remaining claims. A settlement conference was held with Chief Magistrate Judge Maria-Elena James on June 8 and 10, 2010, and everyone agreed that the parties had settled the case. The agreement was read into the record, and Judge Illston entered an order dismissing the case with prejudice upon settlement.
On May 27, 2011, Judge Illston heard argument on competing motions filed by the parties: a motion for entry of judgment filed by plaintiffs and a motion to enforce the settlement agreement filed by the defendants. The parties disagreed over the terms of the aforementioned settlement. The court granted each motion in part and denied in part. The court granted plaintiff's request that it enter judgment, but only after the parties signed a written settlement agreement. The court then granted the defendant's request that the parties be ordered to execute a written settlement agreement. The parties continued to disagree over attorney's fees and other costs, and on July 5, 2012, the court awarded each party costs on the part of the case they had won: plaintiffs received $3,239.80 in costs, and defendants $48,330.72.
The settlement consisted of the City of San Francisco revising its previously published list and policy listing places for which an employee can complain regarding harassment, retaliation and whistleblowing. The City would also prepare and publish a new list and statement permitting complaints outside the chain of command for an employee to be distributed to each Sheriff's Department employee. Further, the City would work with the plaintiffs to determine which pieces of paper exist in their personally files related to this suit. There were further individualized claims settled with the plaintiffs relating to their retaliation claims.
The plaintiffs appealed the district court's grant of summary judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In an opinion from July 2, 2014, the Ninth Circuit held that the City was not entitled to summary judgment based on bona fide occupational defense, in light of the fact issue as to whether there was a reasoned decision making process that led to the sheriff's adoption of the policy. Second, the Ninth Circuit found that the county easily met its burden of demonstrating that there were job qualifications derived from four justifications of safety, security, privacy and rehabilitation that were reasonably necessary to operating the county jails. Further, the Ninth Circuit found that fact issues existed as to whether the policy of excluding male deputies because of their sex was a legitimate proxy for reasonably necessary job qualifications. Finally, the Ninth Circuit held that plaintiffs could not establish prejudice from the district court's evidentiary rulings, the district court did not abuse its discretion in awarding attorneys fees, and the county was entitled to summary judgment on terminated deputy's retaliation claims. The lower court's holdings were affirmed in part, reversed in part, vacated in part and the appeal dismissed in part. 757 F.3d 1017 (9th Cir. 2014).
After continued settlement conferences, the case was dismissed on January 26, 2016 pursuant to the execution of the settlement agreement and its approval by the San Fransisco Board of Supervisors. The court retained jurisdiction with regard to the distribution of the settlement award as stipulated in the settlement agreement.
As of August 10, 2016, there are no further docket entries and the case appears to be closed.

Both the surrogate and the intended parents should undergo psychological counseling.
The surrogate should undergo a complete psychological evaluation to make sure that she is up to the physical and emotional demands of surrogacy. It's also important for the surrogate to be able to cope with any attachment issues that she may develop with the fetus. She will also need to know how to deal with the impact of this pregnancy on her own children, spouse, family, friends, and coworkers. Of course, she'll also benefit from guidelines on managing a relationship with you, the intended parents.
You and your partner can also benefit from counseling. Work with the counselor and the surrogate to determine what type of relationship you would like to maintain.
If you don't already know each other, you and the surrogate should become better acquainted. You'll both want to feel comfortable with one another. After all, surrogacy involves a large degree of trust. Enter into this arrangement only if both sides feel comfortable with the arrangements.
